Randy Pitchford and a couple of other Gearbox guys made 900 people very happy recently. The team handed all 900 members of their community panel at PAX redemption codes for Borderlands 2. In my mind I imagine claptraps with robotic angel wings, raining down redemption codes from the heavens. Okay, so maybe it wasn’t that dramatic, but I’m sure for the panel members it felt that way.

While free games are awesome, my first thought was, “Are they getting the game early?”. That’s not the case here though, the codes will only be redeemable on launch day, and only in the United States. Don’t be jealous though friends, we will get our copy eventually, and when we do, what a glorious day it will be. Until then we will keep you posted with all the latest information about Borderlands 2, so stay tuned and stay informed.

What do you think about the give away? Drop us a line and let us know.
